CIWABA (Computer, Internet and Web Awareness for a Better Africa) was founded by Ferdinand Che. April 1st, 2009 is considered the birthday of CIWABA because it was on this date that the organization finally obtained legal status by registering with the Cameroon Government.

CIWABA is a non-governmental non-profit organization that aims at improving on the life of every reachable and interested African through sensitization and education on the use (or proper use) of computers, internet and the World Wide Web. Located in Cameroon, with three offices and headquarters in Buea, the South West Region, this organization’s mission is to improve computer, internet and web literacy in Africa and teaching Africans how to properly utilize knowledge gained through training workshops, seminars, sensitization campaigns and computer training centers, for better communication, education and web security. CIWABA’s beneficiaries are expected to be computer, internet and web literates who can create jobs for themselves by starting a business for themselves or gaining employment in a computer, internet or web related business or company for which they were initially not qualified or capable.
